If you're afraid life might actually make sense now that you don't have 1,000 unanswered questions about your favorite show...

1. Then "The Event" is the crazy thrill ride you can't live without! Promos feature a loaded tagline of "The disappearance is not The Event. The assassination attempt is not The Event.

If you were a fan of the original or have been thinking of taking a little vacation...

His task force includes Scott Caan and "Lost"'s Daniel Dae Kim.

If you always suspected it wasn't humanly possible for your neighbors to string all those Christmas lights by themselves...

1. Maybe you're right, if you're living next door to Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz in the Tuesday night ABC drama, "No Ordinary Family." After a plane crash into a phosphorescent lake, the Powells start noticing some interesting talents they've picked up, like mind reading and super speed. Premieres September 28 at 8pm.

If you're a 'tween, teen, or just like cheerleaders...

1. Say hello to "Hellcats," the latest hormonally-driven young adult drama to call the CW home. Familiar Disney Channel stars Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka head this cast of spirited co-eds struggling to get along as they root, root, root for the home team. This pep squad starts cheering Wednesday, September 8, at 9pm.

If you don't know what you're going to do without staple "Law & Order," but you're so over New York...

1. How does "Law & Order: Los Angeles" sound, then? Set amid the glamour and glitz, this branch of the franchise follows the robbery/homicide division as they tackle the seedier side of L.A. "Jericho" fans will recognize Skeet Ulrich as a lead detective when the show premieres Wednesday, September 29 at 10pm on NBC.

If you think there are enough buddy cop shows and lawyers get the short end of the stick...

1. Look no further than "The Defenders." Starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell as Las Vegas attorneys, this legal drama is actually based on two real-life lawyers from Sin City.

If you missed William Shatner on your screen every week...

1. There's... something... coming... on CBS Thursday's at 8:30pm starting September 23, and that something is "$#*! My Dad Says," the ­­­new sitcom starring, you guessed it, Captain Kirk himself. The show focuses on a dad's (Shatner) amusing quotes and tidbits as posted by his son on Twitter. Sounds twitterrific!

If, no matter how many shows have them, you can't get enough forensic science and unidentified bodies...

1. Starting Friday, September 24 at 9pm on ABC, "Body of Proof" is exactly what you've been dying for. TV veterans Dana Delaney and Jeri Ryan portray career-driven doctors in Philadelphia's medical examiner's office trying to get results and solve the mystery, something the cops don't necessarily appreciate.
